Milwaukee tries to convince us that levels should be Digital. You can win our Digital REDSTICKS!

[@ToolShow]

Congratulations James Rogers! You won this Milwaukee Showcase! Please email info at coptool dot com with your information so we can get this mailed out to you!

[@jamesrogers4674]

First time I've ever won anything. I'm currently building lab's on UK campus and healthcare so these will keep on giving to scientists, students, doctors, and patients. Thank you. They'll definitely get used.

[@edreiss3637]

What if we could develop a self driving level. Then that is one level I would wish to buy

[@rannyday2635]

Hey guys both my parents have master plumbing licenses and yes my mother is the first female master plumber in Arkansas. So I was born in a ditch and have been laying pipe all my life (I'm 47). The only thing I would add is a real bubble in the top so as you look down in the ditch from above. This would be handy for assurance and could still be used if a digital malfunction occurred.

[@MyFortressConstruction]

Thanks for the opportunity guys! I would use them in finding the pitch of rafters, checking other levels I was suspicious of, and setting the pitch of drain lines.

[@elmacho1155]

I love that you can set the level at any angle, certainly useful

[@MrYAZZ-hl7pw]

I am a Commercial Electrician. This would help A LOT, as I install thousands of EMT, RIGID CONDUIT ON PIPE RACKS for piping home-runs into Panels, Gutter Boxes. And EXPOSED CEILING Showing Off All My Pipe Work. I do great work, but I think this will improve the accuracy on all my 90's, offsets, kicks, saddle bends. IT WOULD MAKE MY JOB A LOT EASIER !!!!!! 🎯 The 14" is a Must-have for me !!!! 👍 thnx for the video. Now I know what I need and want.

[@allangoh5107]

I am a finish Carpenter and Tiler, who has been working for high end kitchens and bathrooms for the past 10+ years. I have tried lots of levels, including the yellow German branded digital ones. They all have helped me a lot. Milwaukee came up these brand new digital levels, I would love to see how much more efficiency I will get at work.

[@mikebeezy8353]

Setting cabinets for sure. Not having to twist and turn to se the vial at the right angle. Just being able to read the display and know you’re good

[@artie4017]

As someone who works alone and may not have an ideal line of sight on a bubble, a readout is a welcome change. I'd use it in those instances in a heartbeat.

[@charlespiotrowski5468]

Use it to jump start my digital world! For everything!!!

[@seansmythe7543]

I would love to have these levels! 20 year old 2nd year electrical apprentice. These beauties would serve me for the rest of my time here! These devices would help me out on the daily and most importantly would make me look like a young BOSS

[@JakeOfALL]

I have an older husky that has a bubble and digital, the bubble is off but the digital is dead on. Nice showcase!!! now you just need to do one on the SwitchTank!!! lol

[@MichaelMac9325]

As someone who lives in The Red Stick I don’t actually own a Red Stick nor a proper level. So this would be an awesome tool to add!

[@millennialbeardo2720]

Being in the new construction/remodel line of work. Being plumb level and square is everything. A Milwaukee Redstick Digital would ensure all of my walls are plumb windows are level giving me the best quality finish possible.

[@brentfowler2317]

I'm a woodworker, whether I'm working on putting in new studs somewhere in my home. Or in the shop building, I would deffinatly be able to put a Milwaukee level to use. Milwaukee is the only brand I buy, use, or trust.

[@robertknowles3677]

I did not think I had a need for a level until I started my woodworking hobby and converted to a serious DIYer. My wife got involved and now has made more things than I have. No I do not feel emasculated... that much. ;-) However, the harbor freight level, I swear, they are broken. We have been putting off getting a good digital because we wanted to make sure we really will use it. Loving these as they are Milwaukee and we are almost 100% Milwaukee in the shop.

[@martylucas8557]

Rob and Sarah, thanks for the overview. Talk about cool! Milwaukee has taken it to a new level with their Digital Redstick Levels!! If I were to win the levels...first of all I’d go around the house rechecking all of those projects I leveled in via a bubble level or not... Then I’d use it for a couple of upcoming bathroom remodel projects, e.g. vanity replacement, tile curbs, etc.

[@stu-po]

My house walls and ceiling aren't quite level so when hanging things, or putting up wainscotting, or adding any trim can't actually be on the level or it looks off and I end up with tapered end pieces at the walls. These Milwaukee levels will let me take the wall, floor, or ceiling as a reference point and use that to adjust the cuts to get a perfect visual look for any trim in the room. The whole "level everything" is soon going to be replaced with "level to a local reference" .

[@giodemarcus2575]

Grew up using Milwaukee holeshooters. I'm rebuilding my tool inventory, getting ready to build a house. Just purchased the Milwaukee 18v kit and have been looking for a good level.

[@jrperez3088]

I'm a welder and I work at a shop that builds trailers for the government. I would use it all day every day. Send it my way

[@johnl.6354]

I would use it every day because i am currently remolding a very up old house. Use it for framing new rooms, floor, kitchen cabinets, doors and bathrooms. Will come very handy thanks.

[@bjiles7]

I am building a house as my own GC, doing most of the sub contracting myself, as in I am doing most of the work...I am the GC and the sub contractor....so as you can guess, I am doing this because my GC's business went under and he quit, 2nd GC was hired and as we were at the bank signing paperwork on all the red tape and contracts, the bank manager walks in and politely tells us that this company that the GC works for is in a corporation lawsuit with the banks main branch in another city and we cannot use him......wow....so after deciding to use another bank, the bank decided to allow me to be the GC and sub out work or do work myself......I am just now under roof and starting to rough everything in......so being that we will now be saving a good chunk of money, my wife and i decide to add some features that we originally took out because of cost....so now, I am under roof, starting to rough in and I already am over my budget of where I should be at this point in time....I have a cheap-o harbor freight level that I have been using since day 1, a digital would make things easier and make me feel like a professional...lol but at that price point I cannot justify for a one time job.......however, I would gladly use it daily and then hand it down to a contractor that would use it daily......so it would be helping me out a ton, and helping someone else out as well.

[@ZunarZulfiqar]

Thanks for the quick look. I don't use levels too often, so you may not want to choose my comment. Still, I would really appreciate owning these levels due to me be visually impaired. I severely struggle to see the vile on a standard level. I tried out the Empire one at the store, but its display didn't have enough contrast and was too dim to read. The OLED screen on these levels are perfect since they offer great brightness and contrast. These levels would make life a whole lot easier. Good luck to all. Thanks again for the opportunity.

[@dannyluna5736]

Installation of electrical Panels and Electrico gear. Love al the Milwaukee line awesome tools 🧰

[@maxdunigan9617]

I would use these to level the playing field as I am not that good of a carpenter😂

[@hustling-things-done]

I Love Milwaukee’s innovation and attention to detail when it comes to these types of things ,I would use it for all my handy work and installations I do on my house and probably for my job

[@joshuaware3304]

I would give them to a fellow laborer for a contractor in town, the poor guy has to go into every house and plane down studs because the framers can't crown them correctly. He uses a level to see how well the studs line up, his level isn't very nice so I think he'd appreciate a redstick a whole lot

[@shakeeshakee9457]

As a pipefitter I use levels all the time I would use them in the field to make me more accurate on the way out and finding different layouts on angles.. great video by the way guys and girls as always

[@jamilvints]

I work on sprinklers. In most cases I'll need two levels. A lot of times they require me to get down and see if I'm leveled, or tell the helper to do it. Having a audio telling me it's leveled saves time. Time is money. I would like to see how a digital could change the game.

[@DumbCarGuy]

Hey Milwaukee. What you really need is a digital bubble like the ones you can get for your cell phone. This way I can see the bubble without having to buy a lighted level. Or you could just put a digital readout above the digital level bubble if you want to be that perfect.

[@drewt6235]

Thanks for the review. I would walk around with these hanging off my shoulder and just go bananas checking everything I see for level, plumb, grade etc.🤔🤪😉. For real ide use em for a built in laundry room/closet I have coming up, a wooden gate replacement, banister install why not. deck for my Mama dukes of course. The deck is probably going to be after winter so I can give a good in depth review😎😉.

[@ryangoodwin7207]

I’d use them to get a slight pitch on flat tile surfaces to provide a run off. Or to get the exact angle I want when installing diagonal herringbone tiles

[@icarossavvides2641]

The indicated accuracy is 0.1 degree, that equates to 3.5mm at 2 mtrs, height of a door! Up to the user to decide if that's good enough?

[@fainjoe]

I would use this to criticize other people's work, to frame my own work, and to destroy my ego by looking at my old work.

[@gregorybigeni9457]

Would love one of these but price is not cheap. But its always best to be on the level. Well done Milwaukee another grat product.

[@Emin3m1986]

I’m a spark so... probably electric panels, align sockets and switches of 1st fixing. Probably if is very exact in aligning kitchen sockets, usually there I use a laser.

[@aaronpeterson9887]

doing gutters and drain pipes. just did the level both ways to see if reading was different... but would like to try these, and the beeps could make it easier to level something as I hold it and screw it in.

[@ronh9384]

I’ve had two Craftsman digital levels that my wife gave for Christmas about 15 years ago. The have the traditional bubble levels as well and beep when at 90 and 45 degrees. They also have a laser pointer on them and can be used on a tripod. Although they use AA batteries they still work as good as the day I received them. And it only takes a couple of seconds to turn on. But the new Milwaukee units are pretty cool and if the price ever comes down I would consider it.

[@JoeY-fu1sw]

I use an old level now that has been banged around a lot ... I would love to take these around and spot check my last couple of projects! 😁

[@chevy-tt4oz]

I would use to check plumb and level conditions during the measuring of frameless shower doors to test it's accuracy against a standard stabila level

[@billynolanjr2266]

I would use these for, kitchen cabinet installs, framing , deck building etc , i could really use some new levels ! Would love to have them ! Make life easy for me ! Thanks !

[@majorcatalyst2570]

Thanks for the update! I need to see how far these levels will make it in the sheet metal trade and I need an upgrade!

[@mudrunner1]

These would be great when I'm working by myself, the audible feature would be great.

[@jason3064]

Landscaper here and this will come in handy for mounted arrangements, grow boxes and some of my multi level hardscapes

[@JamesValentineBaja1000]

Pre-engineered steel bldg instalation when leveling columns. Unless they're not magnetic, then I have no use for them.

[@MatoolboxFr]

As a plumber, I d use it to install correctly a shower tray and a bath ! So I want it

[@dukeethomas8124]

I think Milwaukee is on top of their game with product development and I could use both those tools for my line of work. Nice review guys.

[@lukeasti1049]

These levels would make leveling machines by myself a breeze, as the audio cue would save countless trips to and fro the level and the adjusters

[@joep8520]

These levels would be great to build my in-law's pool house! Great job guys, love the Milwaukee showcases.

[@tomprovan50]

I have a bosh measuring device it shoots a red light to get the distance. I am a journeyman carpenter and this also has a level. I dont use levels hardly any more I use this. It also is useful of course for estimating and doing many jobs by yourself. I mentioned to the lumber yard to get rid of there levels and get these in to show the customers. I have used the device to get the exact angle and have cut drywall under a set of stairs perfectly. I would get the measuring device as it also includes the level. Just some thoughts.

[@rladueable]

I would love to be able to just stay down on the ground and listen for the audio tone while adjusting my cabinet levelers, a lot easier on my old knees and back.

[@T10067]

At my age I need reading glasses. Having the audio for plumb and level would be absolutely amazing, especially if I'm holding the level while adjusting my work, like when I was wall mounting my TV and making the fine adjustments on the wall mount to level the TV. It was a pain holding the level, adjusting the leveling screws, then coming back around to check level. All the more difficult even though I had every light on, the curtains open, and there still didn't seem to be enough light to see that bubble clearly. I can tell you I would this immediately (when you pick me as the winner 😉) since the TV still isn't level and it's irritating me. Then again, maybe I should make sure the sound bar I mounted is level 🤔.

[@liamflaherty7697]

These would make my life so much easier and what is 6 secs if it makes it easier to level and get you spot on the mark keep up with great content

[@mikeknoeber6507]

Thanks for the info regarding bubble levels, now I understand why my conduit racks never seems to look perfect...I guess all that bouncing around my level does in my work would explain that. Time to upgrade... Thanks

[@icesk8man]

I would use these for building and installing cabinetry and furniture. I now have a functional shop and build custom stuff.

[@davidhermoso5403]

I would love to get this. That way I could have my son help me around the house. I will be able to teach him and maybe he will be more interested since it's digital. Thanks for the opportunity

[@Toolproof]

Checking the boys' climber to make sure it hasn't gone crooked again - coulda sworn it was level the first time! Not telling them about this Showcase 'cuz they'd start fighting over who gets the short level regardless of whether we win them or not.

[@Viperjjr]

I would use these levels to ensure the new house I am building for my family is plumb and level and built to the highest levels of quality. It would also be fun to compare them to the other traditional levels I have in my tool box.

[@edreiss3637]

That is frie@#ing insane. I have spent more money on tools in my life than houses. You can't do the job if you don't have the rite tool and that is one sexy tool. Where are we going in the future, our possibilities are limitless.

[@eoghanfla6343]

Rob I had you when Sarah left you hanging last week ✋. I totally deserve this level. Oh I would use this level all the time to keep building more sheds for my other half’s horses. I mean how many horses does one woman need 🐎🐎. Why doesn’t she get goldfish 🙁

[@DanielMac1052]

That 14 inch level would be perfect for aligning my Ford Barra engine in a Toyota landcruiser engine bay. Who knows where itwould end up otherwise!

[@patrickyork567]

Awesome Video. Turns out these new REDSTICKS look more interesting than I first thought. I would love to use them for framing to TV mounting, SWP boxes to door bird and keypad installation. Lutron shades and lighting to Speaker/soundbar installation. In my work, my current Milwaukee bubble level is always in my back pocket. I need a couple bigger levels. They would definitely get a full workout in my hands. Thanks for the info.

[@travisharland7965]

I would use them to make a metal railing, setting concrete pads to a set slope and for handicap ramps.

[@andrewquaintance8069]

I’d most certainly use them in my woodshop build which is currently underway!

[@hermanharris5329]

Oh!! I’ve wanted these since they were announced. I’m just a weekend warrior, but I’ve got a seriously full schedule of weekend projects that will take me through the winter.

[@matthewwoodmansee]

If I used the digital levels I couldnt send the new guys out for bubble refills. Having said that, I would love to have these Redsticks.

[@claytoneads6842]

Wonderful levels...Two words how I would use them...CONCRETE FORMS!!! :-)

[@thecloneguyz]

If you dont have a Double headed cordless nailer, your wasting hours

[@GTouch25]

By the look at it, there are few issues ! The vale should be aside from where usually grab the level, Cant hear the beep sound when its noisy on the job site like an air compressor going in the background!, The booting time!, It might suit a small handy man business kind of thing , but still a little pricy for self employers or DIYers !

[@watduheaw8941]

Oh man I'm ocd with my lines....I install cabinets and this thing would help me sleep better at night.

[@Balyrion]

I hate bubble levels, hopefully these will make me despise leveling stuff less. Plus it will help finishing all the electrical I still need to run in the barn/workshop.

[@johnfloyd3491]

It would probably be faster and more accurate than a regular level it would speed up productivity faster on the fly just like the tape measures with the increment systems on them more accurate read outs and faster job times and get stuff done And also you can move onto the next task at hand more accurate read out so you don’t need to second-guess yourself on what level one let’s not

[@Maniwasaki]

I don't have a real level at all. Having this will level my entire LIFE onto a straight track

[@MCarlo-nu9xv]

id give it to my coworker who has bad eye sight now and can barely focus on a bubble level, the big display and sound notifications would help him, cool tool and review coptool!

[@oliverfmejia]

The other day I was trying to form out some concrete steps and you need really good levels in order to have the steps exactly the same height on both sides. I would use these levels to make sure that the steps are straight and level and plum. If I don’t win I’m gonna buy them.I’m pretty sure if I asked my wife really really nicely she would let me buy them. LOL.

[@jackoneil4164]

Three levels for the Elven kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarven lords in their stone halls, Nine for the Mortal Men, who above all else desire power. But they were all deceived. For in secret, another level was forged by Milwaukee. One level to rule them all.

[@randynava5653]

I would love to try these. I'm a finish carpenter and I also do lots of tile work in Ventura California. I really need new levels and these would take me to the next level. ha! Great video by the way. Lots of great details about the product.

[@willtruax871]

I've been using digital inclinometers/levels for years for putting timbers into Scribe layups kicked at their intended pitch and I could use an upgrade from my old Smart Levels!

[@benchaloupka1940]

Great new design from Milwaukee! I'd use these to measure staircase pitch angle. As of now I use a 48" level with a angle finder on top. These levels would be a game changer!

[@Sroufe7]

Definitely could use one of these! I’m working a garage remodel, drain tiling my basement and then finishing my basement!

[@robertwolinski7294]

I was thinking to grab a little one since my 10+ year old one is a POS but for $199...that's just too much. I need to replace the one in my carrying tool box, I guess this won't be it for now.

[@joenason6423]

I would love these levels. I am building my first house on my own. I am also in the midst of changing my platform over to all Milwaukee. Not a cheap process!

[@jacobpulliam1748]

Already have the 48inch level but definitely wouldn't mind having the 24 inch one too

[@jedmook4460]

I could definitely use these levels for forming concrete, the digital ones would be amazing for ramps. I could see these being very useful.

[@chriswilbourn]

I’m going to be putting up a privacy fence soon and all I have are my dad’s old levels. I have been trying to start a tool collection and would love these in my toolbox (which I don’t have yet either)! Love the video

[@alejandroallproducts1269]

Nice tool , will be great use it building my house extension Great video !

[@grantdeisig1360]

If they are that accurate, I would use them for everything. Love the locking feature.

[@leojeidy1143]

I work for plumbing, heating and electrical company so they would be a nice upgrade from my current levels.

[@bradstemp1567]

Awesome level I’d use these levels when I install new high speed doors for work

[@rayamat01]

I think Milwaukee finally jumped the shark on this one

[@bigdlee4004]

Laying sewer pipe to make sure that "$tuff" rolls down hill like it is supposed to do. That and making "grade" on the backfill.

[@NicKnapp]

Would be awesome to have these for all of my high end kitchen and window/door installs. I love the audible feature.

[@davidkohn1679]

Definitely could use one of these in my property repair business. I can only hope those suggested prices come down to earth, though, compared to other digital levels I’ve seen on the market.

[@ZeoCyberG]

I would use it as a straight edge guide for a circular saw with the added benefit of being able to set pretty precise angles.

[@GunterN210]

Digital levels? I would love to give them a try. I do a lil bit of everything, but specialize in finish carpentry. I'm always reaching for my stabila levels.

[@jason7831]

I am in the process of building my shop and these would be a tremendous help!

[@BuiltOverBot]

I have to re-level my lift and cnc table often as they walk on my unlevel floor. This would make those jobs much faster.

[@joshlaw1322]

These would be great for setting cabinets! The audio feature is a super nice touch if you’re adjusting a shim and don’t have a clear view on the level.

[@karatohongkongcat]

Awesome for shelves and pictures that’s what I would use it for

[@GoldenKnightEngineer]

Perfect levels for drainage projects around the house

[@jeffreyhinman1397]

I would use them for many tasks considering finish carpentry as well as many other tasks that require a level. Such as framing and window/door installs.

[@spob03]

Wow those should work may better then the digital level app on my phone. My phone also can't stand on its own. Should bring all my projects to a whole other level!
